Rick,
Clever use of your Starrett mini square. As an aside, I have a hobby curiosity in measurement and have collected Starrett tools. I still enjoy them, but have stopped collecting.
My original Substitute Target is a flat piece of 1/16" steel. (That's US big box hardware store measurement). I thinned it to 1.25mm (.050") and ground a bevel on one edge. I posted it, including a photo, on the forum. I found the plastic gift cards work well enough and are easier to trim. They are also less expensive than anything Starrett.

The Starret mini scale came from my father's machine shop. Also have the inside 90 deg. center head, which I find very useful.
I plan to do the same with a dedicated piece of metal. I have a lot of metal stock in various sizes, so should be able to find something suitable.
